Company profile:
The Edge is a multicultural ministry committed to reaching the urban/ hip-hop culture in mind, body and spirit. The Edge was planted by Kentwood Community Church in the fall of 2009. It was planted as a missions church to reach people from all walks of life who are looking for hope and a future. Our community has become family for many in our context. Our high energy Saturday night Sessions are filled with hip-hop and R&amp;B music, authentic people and fellowship. Our location has become a second home for many and our building is open most days of the week to the entire community. We hold Bible studies, tutor each other, work in the music studio, a video production room and just hang out together to watch movies. Over the past three years, we have seen unbelievable social and spiritual change occurring in the lives of those who attend our church and community ministries. Over the past three years, hundreds of people have come to know Jesus as Lord as a result of what God is doing in the midst of The Edge.
